Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a system for accessing data in a database using a URL. It allows for secure organization of different types of data and enables users to easily access resources in the database through a URL. The invention allows for parsing the URL to determine the function and parameters of the database function to be called, validating the function to ensure it is a valid logical element, and interpreting the results. Ultimately, the invention streams a response to the user in real-time.

Problems solved by technology

If it is not a valid logical element, an error can be returned to the user.

Abstract

Systems, methods and program instructions are described for calling a database function with a URL. Many databases have functions, also referred to as logical elements, built into the database that can be called to retrieve data. A web URL can be used to call such a programming function by formatting the URL in a specific manner. After the URL is received, it can be parsed to determine the resource path and parameters, if any exist. The database function specified in the URL is called using the specified parameters, if any exist. The results can be interpreted and an appropriate response can be streamed.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from a provisional U.S. patent application No. 61 / 885,317 filed on Oct. 1, 2013.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]Embodiments of the invention generally relate to applications used in retrieval of data from a database. Specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to tying a URL to a function in the database.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A database is a collection of data stored in a digital form. Databases have become an integral part of virtually all business and personal applications. A database can store different types of data ranging from personal identification information to various forms of multimedia. Additionally, a database can also contain types of code, referred to as logical elements, which assist in the retrieval and manipulation of data. A computer program can execute functions to return data based on a request from a user. The data can then be displayed to the user.[0004]A uniform resour...
